Part A:
Let the length of one of the sides of the rectangle be L, then the length of the other side is obtained as follow.
Let the length of the other side be x, then

Thus, if the length of one of the side is x, the length of the other side is 8 - L.
Hence, the area of the rectangle in terms of L is given by

Part B:
To find the domain of A
Recall that the domain of a function is the set of values which can be assumed by the independent variable. In this case, the domain is the set of values that L can take.
Notice that the length of a side of a rectangle cannot be negative or 0, thus L cannot be 8 as 8 - 8 = 0 or any number greater than 8.
Hence the domain of the area are the set of values between 0 and 8 not inclusive.
Therefore,
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To find x, the following equation is generated given the available information:

Complete the equation of variation where y varies inversely as x and y = 0.125
when x=8
Answer:
- <u>You are right, the coordinates are</u>:

Explanation:
Here is how you can proove that you are right.
Note that m is the x-coordinate of the point
. Since this point is to the left of the y-axis, it is a negative number, but the negative sign is included in
.
The distance from
to the y-axis is not
but
.
That is the same distance from the point with the missing coordinates to the point (h,0).
Then, the missing x-coordinate is 
Of course, there is not doubt about the y-coordinate: it is n, because the point with the missing coordinates is at the same height as (m,n).
Hence, the missing coordinates are x = h+m, and y = n: (h + m, n).
